That guy’s reasoning is faulty. To start, he has made math mistakes in every video that he has posted recently involving math. To give 3 recent examples:

At 10m3s in the following video, he claims to add a 60% margin by multiplying by 1.6, but in reality is adding a 37.5 margin and needed to multiply by 2.5 to add a 60% margin. This can be calculated by calculating Cost Scaling Factor = 1 / (1 - Normalized Profit Margin):

2.5 = 1 / (1 - 0.6)

1.6 = 1 / (1 - 0.375)

At 48m13s in the following video, he claims that Intel’s B580 is 80% worse than Nvidia’s hardware. He took the 4070 Ti as being 82% better than the 2080 SUPER, assumed based on leaks from his reviewer friends that the B580 was about at the performance of the 2080 SUPER and then claimed that the B580 would be around 80% worse than the 4070 Ti. Unfortunately for him, that is 45% worse, not 80% worse. His chart is from Techpowerup and if he had taken the time to do some math (1 - 1/(1 + 0.82) ~ 0.45), or clicked to the 2080 SUPER page, he would have seen it has 55% of the performance of the 4070 Ti, which is 45% worse:

At 1m2s in the following video, he makes a similar math mistake by saying that the B580 has 8% better price/performance than the RTX 3060 when in fact it is 9% better. He mistakenly equated the RTX 3060 being 8% worse than the B580 to mean that it is 8% better, but math does not work that way. Luckily for him, the math error is small here, but he still failed to do math correctly and his reasoning grows increasingly faulty with the scale of his math errors. What he should have done that gives the correct normalized factor is:

1.09 ~ 1 / (1 - 0.08)

A factor of 1.09 better is 9% better.

He not just fails at mathematical reasoning, but lacks a basic understanding of how hardware manufacturing works. He said that if Intel loses $20 per card in low production volumes, then making 10 million cards will result in a $200 million loss. In reality, things become cheaper due to economics of scale and simple napkin math shows that they can turn a profit on these cards:

His $20 loss per card remark is at 11m40s:

His behavior is consistent with being on a vendetta rather than being a technology journalist. For example, at 55m13s in the following video, he puts words in Tom Petersen’s mouth and then with a malicious smile on his mouth, cheers while claiming that Tom Petersen declared discrete ARC cards to be dead when Tom Petersen said nothing of the kind. Earlier in the same video at around 44m14s, he calls Tom Petersen a professional liar. However, he sees no problem expecting people to believe words he shoved into the “liar’s” mouth:

If you scrutinize his replies to criticism in his comments section, you would see he is dodging criticism of the actual issues with his coverage while saying “I was right about <insert thing completely unrelated to the complaint here>” or “facts don’t care about your feelings”. You would also notice that he is copy and pasting the same statements rather than writing replies addressing the details of the complaints. To be clear, I am paraphrasing in those two quotes.

He also shows contempt for his viewers that object to his behavior in the following video around 18m53s where he calls them “corporate cheerleaders”:

In short, Tom at MLID is unable to do mathematical reasoning, does not understand how hardware manufacturing works, has a clear vendetta against Intel’s discrete graphics, is unable to take constructive criticism and lashes out at those who try to tell him when he is wrong. I suggest being skeptical of anything he says about Intel’s graphics division.
